Mlinzi turns raw GPS telemetry into actionable intelligence — protecting your herd with real-time tracking, AI behaviour scoring, geofencing, and instant theft alerts. Built for African farming.
South African farmers lose billions of rands to livestock theft every year. Existing GPS tools track location — but they don't think. Mlinzi does.
Six intelligent modules that work together to protect and optimise your herd — from collar to command centre.
Sub-5-second telemetry from Digital Matter Oyster3 trackers via LTE-M / NB-IoT. Every animal on a full satellite map, updated in real time, always.
Each animal receives a daily 0–100 score derived from activity index, grazing patterns, rest cycles, stress indicators, and herd cohesion — with 30-day baseline anomaly detection.
Draw polygon or circle boundaries on the map. Set active hours, assign to specific herds, and trigger alerts on entry, exit, or both — with full breach history.
Instant push, SMS, and email notifications for geofence breaches, unusual speed, herd separation, low battery, and behaviour anomalies — with quiet hours and escalation chains.
Daily distance trends, behaviour score distributions, grazing utilisation heat maps, and herd cohesion scores — across any date range. Export to PDF, CSV, or Excel.
React Native iOS & Android app with live map, push alerts, offline last-known-position caching, and one-tap geofence management — designed for the field.
Digital Matter Oyster3 tracker on animal collar transmits GPS, speed, heading, and battery every 30–300 seconds via LTE-M or NB-IoT.
Secure webhook API validates each payload, resolves the device to an animal, and queues it for the intelligence engine — all in milliseconds.
Geofence rules evaluated, behaviour scores updated, anomalies detected against 30-day baselines. Alerts triggered where thresholds are crossed.
Farm managers see live maps and analytics on web or mobile. Alerts push instantly via app notification, SMS, and email — wherever they are.
Beef, mixed, and crop-livestock operations needing herd-wide visibility and proactive theft prevention across hundreds of hectares.
Behaviour monitoring as an early indicator of cow health — catch illness, stress, or predator proximity before it impacts production.
High-value wildlife on large estates — exactly the use case for low-maintenance, long-range tracking with minimal human intervention.
Provincial departments tracking communal livestock programmes and supporting subsistence farmers with data-driven insights.
API integration enables data-driven livestock policies and faster, evidence-based theft claim verification — reducing fraud and admin.
Behaviour anomaly data provides vets with early warning signals before visible clinical symptoms appear — improving animal welfare outcomes.
Cloud-native infrastructure built for variable connectivity, POPIA compliance, and scale from 50 to 50,000 animals without re-architecture.
